Dr. Tao Xie, associate professor of computer science at NC State University, has been named an IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor for 2011-2013.The IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitors Program (DVP) was initiated in 1971 by Dr. Stephen Yau. It is a popular offering of first quality speakers serving IEEE Computer Society professional and student chapters. The DVP owes its success to the many volunteers and staff members of the Computer Society who generously contribute their time and talent.

Speakers are selected by the DVP Committee, and are recognized authorities in their respective fields. They must be members of the Computer Society, and offer topics of interest to the general membership.
